Great lookin pics of that meat candy,you should have tried the dripping for ajus...T-bone.

Looks pretty good to me. You could definitely use the drippings for au jus if your pan is relatively clean. Good job! I might have to try that with the fillets in my freezer!

Those look absolutely MOUTHWATERING.
I smoked some rib-eyes once. They did not
look that good.

Good job Charlie looks great!

I dont think I could ever bring myself to smoke such a great peice of meat. Glad you enjoyed it. Filet IMO seared on both sides, and about 1 blood rare in the center in the center. YUMMY

i have smoked some rib-eyes, and they would be my preference for smoking. of course, i haven't done a filet, yet.

n.j. not sure how deluted the beef juice would be with the water in the pan. I have used two cans of low sodium beef stock, two cans of water and a sliced onion in my water pan while smoking a 3 pound boneless rib roast. The beef juices dripping in to the pan made for some great dipping sauce.

I gotta try that Dutch that's a great idea! Thanks

Thanks Dutch, i`ll keep that in mind for the next roast i do !!
